This is why Hillary Clinton wore purple to give her concession speech

November 10, 2016

Hillary Clinton made an emotional concession speech on Wednesday (Nov. 9), urging the Democrats who rallied around her to unite and give President Elect Donald Trump the opportunity to lead the United States.

The former presidential candidate fought back tears as she made the speech in a striking purple blouse and black blazer with purple lapels, while her husband Bill Clinton stood behind her wearing a matching tie.

"We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought," she said. "But I still believe in America, and I always will. And if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future.

"Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. "
